A Sunday ride in an electric car

Note that the Nurnburgring is about the same length as the Tail of the Dragon. At a rough guess, it was averaging around 120 mph on this course.

I guess closer to 99 MPH,, which is smokin,,

At 60 MPH, it takes 1 minute per mile, at 120, it takes half the minutes, so, a 12 mile trip is a 6 minute ride,.

Yep, even in a van! I know most people have seen these, but it's still super cool.

Went & watched that run this AM,, ,, That thing is Fast! Looking at the comments, I saw this,

Porsche 911 7:24. Ferrari Enzo. 7:25. I would say the electric Toyota did really well in comparison.

I wish the MPH would have been on screen,



& I watched the van clips,, that was some serious driving,,
